We work with the best to bring you the best of North Carolina has to offer. If it isn't good enough for our families, then it isn't good enough for our members. We stand behind each product we offer.

Quality

In addition to touring our farms prior to signing them on and working with them, we also evaluate the food upon pickup, as well as prior to packing your customized orders. If something should happen to fall through the cracks, we have an easy-to-use reporting system for our members to identify problems so we can rectify the problem, and so we can continue to improve and so we can relay any problems to our farmers.

Life changing

Being a member of Carolina Grown is more than just about food choices. It's about learning and changing your food habits. As a member of Carolina Grown, you will have opportunities to intimately get to know your farms and your food through farm tours, sustainable dinners, wine dinners, cooking parties and demonstrations, and more. This helps you get acquainted with your food on a personal level, and also helps support local businesses and the local economy. And it's easy to participate ... you use the same points you get each week or month as part of your subscription to also reserve your spot in any of our special events.

Convenience and desireability

Not only do we have a convenient, easy-to-use online menu for you to order your food products from the comfort of your own home, but your entire order is customizeable. Unlike other CSAs or food co-ops that limit what you can get in your box or create a box for you, you can order only what you want and what you and your family like to eat each week based on seasonal availability. We also encourage our members to try new things by offering a traditional CSA produce box which is chock full of a mixture of seasonal produce.

Giving back

At Carolina Grown, we believe in giving back to the communities in which we serve. We have and plan on participating in food drives, helping neighbors through difficult times, and participate in fundraisers. We have sponsored a needy mom as a Mother's Day tribute by offering her and her family NC food from our farmers. We have helped support a former Carolina Grown member whose infant daughter has a debiliting illness by offering their family food from NC farms. We have donated excess food to the NC Boys Home, and hope to continue to offer food donations to area food banks that accept perishible foods. He have offered gift certificates as fundraisers for school PTA programs, family fundraisers, military fundraisers, and more.
